Jesse W. Holman, we'll known to the
fraternity in this section, died at his
home in Potosi, on March 23d, 1887, in
his 33d year of his age. Mr.. H. at one
time had charge of the mechanical de-
partment of this paper, and will doubt
less be remembered by number of our
citizens. He was connected with var
ious newspaper enterprises in Wash
lngton county, and last June establish
ed the Potosi Free Press. Ill health
soon Obliged him to give up this enter
prise and he departed for New Mexico
in the hope that the change of climate
would benefit him. He returned some
months since but little, il any improv-
ed, and the announcement of his death
will create little surprise where his con-
dition was known. A wife and little
daughter are left to mourn his demise
and revere his memory.

Here sin the country" the law clos
ing saloons on Sunday is rightly en-
forced, and it is q good law which ought
to be so enforced. Ifit is good for the
country, where the population is, COM
atively speaking, sparse and scattered,
why is it not still better law for the
city whose slums are crowded with out
casts and social pariahs? Entertain
ing this view, we cordially endorse the
following from the st. Louis Christian
Advocate, and warn those who would
defy the law to submit to it ere worse
comes to them:
The Missouri State Legislature has repeal
ed the law of 1857 which gave st. Louis sa-
loon-keepers the legal right to sell wine and
beer on Sundays. This being the case, this
paper most respectfully and sincerely asks
the saloon-keepers to show themselves to be
law-abiding men; close their saloons, take
their rest and give no trouble to the officers
of the law and the public no cause to COM
plain. 1t will be better for them, better for
their families and better for the community.
Let us oil be law abiding; and live in peace.
But it is reported the saloonists are de-
termined to opposed the measure by all the
means in their power, and threaten to stop
the street cars, close the barber shops and
all kinds of business In the event of their be-
ing compelled to close. This, Of course. is
mere buster. But II they determine to press
the matter, let 1t come. As well no~ - any

CARE OF T T CHICKS.

Most of the loss of young chicks is
caused by the want of fine gravel.
which is the first thing a chick chooses
if it has the chance of choice, and
without which it cannot long revive.
For years I raised chicks in the usual
farm style, later Matching with hens
and rearing with breeders. Last and
best of all, [ have Matched wholly with
incubators. This was not expensive
in the beginning, as all the machines
were made at home and were run with
little care and expense. The pleasure
Of caring for these perfect specimens
by the hundreds was only equaled by
it's success. Less time was required
for a large flock than to look after one
brood with its mother-hen, and there
is far less loss of the little pets that
have nothing to trouble them. There
are no lice on their tender little bodies,
and the warm brooder is always ready
to shelter them. Mine we're put out
of doors when two days old, and it
was only the first of April. No chicks
ever did better, and sale was found at
home for all l wish to. spare. The
common kind sold for one dollar, and
the are ones at three dollars per dozen
when but two days old.-FARMER's

The Charlotte Observer says a
farmer who pays strict attention to
the methods of obtaining the best re-
suits from his farm, had reaped this
week from four bushels of wheat sown
on about six acres of well-manured
and properly prepared land, the mag
nifcent amount of 24O bushels. This
shows what a little bit, we'll attended
to, will do, when compared with the
results Of some large fields of grain
sown by some of our farmers, which
they cannot possibly give the proper
attention. When our people learn by
experience, as this gentleman has
done, the advantage of intelligent farm
methods, this county, or this section
Of it, at least, will improve very mate
rally and perceptibly in the important
and absolutely necessary essential Of
finances If our farmers want to make
money at forming, they must practice
the best methods.

MEMORY.

My feet approach life's western slope,
Above me bend the MONDAY SKIES,
Beyond me spread the realm OF nope,
Behind, the land of memory lies;
know not what the years may BRING
OF dangers wild, or joys serene
But. turning to the east sing. .
"Lord, keep memory green"
o land of winter and Of bloom,
OF singing bird and moaning pine,
Thy golden light, thy tender gloom.
Thy wales M mountains. all are min
Thy holy loves of other years,
With beck'ning hands toward me lean,
And whisper through their falling tears,
lord, keep my memory green"
Dear Memory ! whose unclouded gaze
Can pierce the darkest wilds of space,
I see her morning watch-fres blaze,
I feel her breeZes fan my face
/ would not give the light she filings
Across my futures landscape scene
For all the pomp and power of kings
Lord, keep my memory green"
Let memory near my soul abide.
With eye and voice to warn and win,
Till Hope and memory, side by side,
Shall walk above the tides of sin
Till from life's western lakes and r1ls
The angel lifts the sunset sheen,
And hangs it DER the eastern hills
